Guest guest Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Does anyone have a recipe or ideas for barley for breakfast? My husband likes barley for breakfast and I was wondering if there was a way to cook it in the crockpot since it takes a little while to cook. I have both hulled and pearl barley. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 i think barley cooks fast!? it is light and can be combined with miso or veg broth or tomato sauce or maple sugar and/or ghee.( add nuts and or berries.) its all what you get used to or try. as an alkaline grain nutrient it is not as high on the list as say quinoa but is somewhat nutritious and filling. best regards.jmh6886 <jmh6886To: Sent: Thu, March 25, 2010 8:03:29 PM barley for breakfast Does anyone have a recipe or ideas for barley for breakfast?

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 ....just a question here...isn't "Ghee" butter?

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Marcella Lynch has a great recipe for a crockpot barley cereal called "Armenian Christmas Porridge" that I have used several times. It is tasty, can be made in the crockpot or on the stove, and you can substitute all sorts of dried fruit, nuts, etc., for the ones in the recipe. We all just love it! I will go downstairs and dig it out shortly. Marilyn jmh6886 <jmh6886 Thu, Mar 25, 2010 8:03 pm barley for breakfast Does anyone have a recipe or ideas for barley for breakfast?

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 I put barley in the slow cooker with veggie broth and just let it sit on low overnight. I don't really measure. It always come out fine for me. I use barley instead of rice in everything. I like it a lot better, but then I just like barley!

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Armenian Christmas Porridge from The Joy of Natural Cooking by Marcella Lynch 1 c. slivered almonds 1 c. pearl barley 3 qts. water 2 c. chopped dried apricots (I subbed diced dried papaya) 1-1/2 c. chopped dates or raisins 1/3 c. honey (can sub agave or maple syrup) 1 t. salt 1/2 t. coriander (I subbed allspice, but nutmeg and/or cinnamon would do nicely too) You can toast the almonds first, or not--your choice. STOVETOP VERSION-- Combine barley and 2 qts. water. Cook on low, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes. Add remaining water, and chopped dried fruit (except dates, if used). Cook for another 30 minutes, until thick. Stir often. Add honey/agave/maple syrup, salt, and spice(s). Cook 5-10 minutes longer, stirring often. Remove from heat, and add dates, if desired. Serve warm, with any milk you want, if desired. Can be made the day before and reheated. This makes a generous amount which served our family of three kids, three teens, and two adults. CROCKPOT VERSION-- Put barley in crockpot and cover with all the water. Add in the dried fruit (except dates). Cook on low overnight. In the morning, add in the rest of the ingredients (excpet milk, if using), and continue to cook on low for about another 10 minutes, to warm it all through. Enjoy!

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Thank you! This looks really good. It will be great to alternate between this and steel-cut oats.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Most likely, this is the Armenian Orthodox version of a traditional Orthodox dish served on Christmas Eve and at Memorial services for the dead. It is usually made of wheat, but can be made with rice or with barley, according to what grain is available in any particular part of the world. It is variously called koliva (Greek), kutia (Russian) or hilbee (Arabic). I wrote a post about it on one of my blogs.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Thanks for the info, Denise! I did not know your father, but I choked up reading your blog post. He sounds so much like my own father, who died in 2004, at the age of 90. Your cereal recipe looked really good, too! Thanks for sharing it.
